The WWII classic, and winner of seven Academy Awards, underwent an extensive restoration process from the original negatives. In comments made to the El Paso Times &#8211; a near-final restoration was recently shown at the Plaza Classic Film Festival in El Paso, Texas &#8211; Grover Crisp, Sony senior VP for restoration and mastering, said that the restoration has allowed for the film to be presented in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio, as the film had been &#8220;cropped and changed to 2:35:1 shortly after CinemaScope started.&#8221; Now fans of the <i>River Kwai<\/i> can see it in the manner it was shot.
